Description
Analysis was performed on the placebo group (n=451) of the Phase III study SATURN using erlotinib maintenance therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC who were selected for response or stable disease after first line chemotherapy. It was found that EGFR Mutant status was a significant positive prognostic factor for overall survival. (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.19 to 0.59; P<0.01)
